Pierre Bourdieu is a distinguished French sociologist working
today. This study is designed to make his dense and complicated
thought easily accessible to a student audience. Written in a clear
style, the author adopts a critical stance to Bourdieu, covering
the full range of his work from the early Algerian fieldwork, to
the massive surveys of French cultural consumption, to his most
recent theoretical essays. Placing Pierre Bourdieu's sociological
enterprise in its proper context - French intellectual life since
the 1950s - Jenkins offers a critique which acknowledges Bourdieu's
massive achievement while at the same time recognizing the
shortcomings and problems of his work. All of the main substantive
areas about which Bourdieu has written are discussed - culture,
education, social stratification, language and the ethnography of
the Kablyia - but the emphasis is upon his contributions to theory,
methodology and epistemology.
